The Waterpoort (also known as Porta Regia, and Coninckxpoort) is a monumental gate located in the Zuiderdokken, Zuid Antwerp, Belgium. The gate was sculpted by Huibrecht van den Eynde and Johannes van Mildert, and was erected in 1624.[1][2] It originally served as a water gate on the Scheldt river, as well as an honorary gate to King Philip IV of Spain.
